A 33-year-old man was arrested in connection to two sexual assaults during home invasions earlier this month in northwest Harris County.

Rickey Lee Zepeda was charged with sexual assault and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon of a 23-year-old woman on Jan. 7 in the 18000 block of Temple Hill. Zepeda is also the suspect in the Jan. 21 home invasion and sexual assault of a woman in the Cypress Landing subdivision.

Charges are pending, authorities said.

Investigators from the Texas Rangers and Harris County Sheriff's Office's Adult Sex Crimes and Safe Homes task forces are credited with his capture.
